FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The inventive concept relates generally to a seed planting machine.

BACKGROUND

There are a number of solutions for sowing seeds. Currently, seeds areplanted in a furrow that is made into tilled soil to allow the seed tohave a proper seedbed, but this solution fails because tillage isdetrimental to the soil and the environment. Another solution attemptsto plant seeds into untilled soils, but this solution fails because itdoes not put the seed into an environment conducive for propergermination. Still another solution attempts to coat the seed to make itimpermeable to soil negativities, but this solution also fails to meetmarket demand because it does not address soil inequalities within theseed emergence zone. Therefore, there currently exists a need in themarket for an apparatus, method and system that creates the desiredgrowing environment, disposes seeds within the desired growingenvironment, and plants the combination of the seed and desired growingenvironment within a field to ensure health, viability, and improvedyields.

 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content further comprise one or more fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and/or biologicals.
 14. A seed planter for creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the seed planter comprising: a wheeled frame driven by a motor, the wheeled frame configured with at least one soil opener and at least one soil closer for planting a field; a soil container assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the soil container assembly configured for housing and metering soil; a seed hopper disposed on the wheeled frame configured for housing and metering seed; a seed growing environment aggregator assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the aggregator assembly having at least one input opening for receiving a plantable portion of soil from the soil container and seed from the seed hopper and at least one discharge opening for discharging an aggregation of the plantable portion of soil and seed to the at least one soil opener for planting in the field; wherein the seed growing environment aggregator includes a seed casing assembly housing one or more seed casing inputs for preparing a seed casing from the one or more seed casing inputs for housing the aggregation of the plantable portion of soil and seed for planting in the field.
 15. A seed planter for creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the seed planter comprising: a wheeled frame driven by a motor, the wheeled frame configured with at least one soil opener and at least one soil closer for planting a field; a soil container assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the soil container assembly configured for housing and metering soil; a seed hopper disposed on the wheeled frame configured for housing and metering seed; a seed growing environment aggregator assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the aggregator assembly having at least one input opening for receiving a plantable portion of soil from the soil container and seed from the seed hopper and at least one discharge opening for discharging an aggregation of the plantable portion of soil and seed to the at least one soil opener for planting in the field; wherein the soil container assembly includes one or more soil harvesters for harvesting soil from the field for providing the plantable portion of soil.
 16. A seed planting system for creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the seed planter comprising: a wheeled frame driven by a motor, the wheeled frame configured with at least one soil opener and at least one soil closer for planting a field; one or more agricultural content sources disposed on the wheeled frame, the one or more agricultural content sources housing one or more types of agricultural seed growing content for preparing a seed environment, wherein at least one of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content comprises seed growth medium; a seed hopper disposed on the wheeled frame configured for housing and metering seed; a seed growing environment aggregator assembly operably disposed on the wheeled frame, the aggregator assembly having at least one input opening for receiving a plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content from one or more agricultural content sources and seed from the seed hopper and at least one discharge opening for discharging an aggregation of the plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed to the at least one soil opener for planting in the field; wherein the seed growing environment aggregator assembly includes a seed casing assembly housing a plurality of seed casings for housing the aggregation of the plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed for planting in the field.
 17. A method for planting seed by creating and planting together both seed and contents of a seed growing environment, the method comprising: providing a wheeled frame driven by a motor, the wheeled frame configured with one or more soil openers, soil closers, types of agricultural seed growing content, seed, and seed growing environment aggregator assemblies operably disposed on the wheeled frame for planting seed together with contents of a seed growing environment within a field; receiving a plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed at the seed environment aggregator; preparing an aggregation of the plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed, wherein at least one of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content comprises plant growth media for supporting plant growth; encasing the aggregation of the plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed within a seed casing composed of one or more seed casing inputs; and discharging an aggregation of the plantable portion of the one or more types of agricultural seed growing content and seed to the one or more soil openers for planting in the field.
